January 23, 2018 Les Lukach State Scouting Director
Scouting Report
1/14/18
Southern California commit. Physical 6-foot-4, 200-pound frame that projects to firm up with more maturation. Proportional strength, long limbs, lean muscular build, squared shoulders that project for further strength gains. Looks to be one of the top sophomore pitchers in the state after a solid freshman campaign. Ball jumps out of his hand and gets on hitters in a hurry. Moves fastball around entire quadrant. Fastball touched 88 while sitting 85-87 mph with command. Curveball has plus-pitch potential with sharp break and late depth. Sat 73-74 mph touching 75 mph with it. Also a pitch he moves around the quadrant. Changeup is developing, but he shows good feel for the pitch. Only threw it three times. All three clocked 77 mph. Employs same high 3/4 arm slot on all pitches with same arm speed. Has a bit of a head jerk at release. Good genes, father played at USC and in the Blue Jays organization.
